The Genes That Make a Good Parent.

The Genes That Make a Good Parent. Trends Genet. 2017 Jun 17;: Authors: Hager R Abstract What is the genetic basis of differences in parental care between promiscuous and monogamous mammal species? A team led by Hopi Hoekstra studied an intercross between deer mice and old-field mice that differ in their mating systems and parental behaviours. The authors discovered 12 genomic regions contributing to those differences and identified vasopressin as a regulator of nestbuilding behaviour. PMID: 28633980 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
